Yet another major London airport is increasing passenger drop-off fees

London Gatwick, the city's second-biggest aviation hub, has confirmed that it is increasing charges in its drop-off zones by £3 in 2026. From January the fee, which allows drivers to stop outside the terminal for 10 minutes, will be £10. This means that Gatwick will have the highest drop-off charge in the UK. The fee has doubled since LGW initially introduced a drop-off charge in 2021; it increased to £6 in 2024 and £7 in May 2025.

I slept at the airport before an early flight to avoid waking up at the crack of dawn. The noise and the nerves left me regretting my decision.

Avoid overnight airport sleeping; noise, eerie lighting, and constant vigilance often produce poor rest and regret compared with paying for a hotel or leaving early.
